Express printing
When your prints can’t wait until tomorrow
A presentation for an afternoon meeting, papers that need signing, a thesis before the deadline. Express at Drukolud doesn’t mean a surcharge – it means a print shop around the corner that gets on it right away.
Why it works
Express without the express surcharge
No central print plant, no courier. A shop in your area does the printing and you collect in person – which cuts out all the logistics that eat up a day or two at classic online printers. The route “upload → it prints → walk over and collect” is the shortest there is.
The price is the same as when you’re not in a hurry. Your order is calculated deterministically from the shop’s price list – being in a rush changes nothing. What you see in the comparison before ordering is what you pay at pickup. You can also compare the shops’ price lists on the pricing page.
You see what’s happening. After confirmation you track the printing live – file by file, with an indicator of how much is done. The moment you see “ready for pickup”, off you go. You’ll get an email in the meantime too.
Three steps between a file and a print
-
Upload and set up
Drag your PDF onto the homepage, choose the format, colour and number of copies. Double-sided printing is cheaper per page – and even in a rush it slows nothing down, setting it takes a second.
-
Pick an open print shop
The comparison shows final prices, distance and opening hours for every shop nearby. For express jobs, pick by who’s open and who’s on your way.
-
Collect, check, pay
You pay on the spot, in cash or by transfer. You look over the prints at pickup – if anything’s wrong, you sort it out with the shop right there, not through a complaint form.
